@Viss Literally could have had Jen Easterly come up on stage say "I don't have a job now, good luck" and mic drop.

@Viss see also: anyone associated with organizing RSAC. I just don't fucking understand how or why you would want the concentration camp enjoyer to keynote your event, when literally anyone in charge of the CVE program, or from CISA themselves would've been an absolute fucking banger instead.

This did numbers while I was out today. Thank you for reading. I... didn't originally have a goal when I set out to write this.
But then the more I thought about it, the more I'm realizing there's no cavalry coming. All we have is each other, and that even the tiniest positive actions towards one another and our community as a whole accumulates.
But even if you don't have spoons, energy, attention span, or money to do anything, that's fine. those positive actions apply to you as well. Self-care is important. You are your own biggest advocate in that regard.
I also just wanted to remind everyone, these people in charge unapologizingly, remorselessly fucking awful skinwalkers, and that you have no obligation to make nice with supporters of this administration in any way. If they want a sympathetic ear, tell them to fuck off to any one of the multitudes of conservative hugboxes out there.

@da_667 there are 'infosec people' that walk and talk like these folks, but hide behind a bunch of other attributes to asuage critique

I wrote a thing. Its political. This is your only warning.
"Be the heretic that orange nazi gasbag believes you can be"
